Running around like a headless chicken.
A classic GHEL trait which Ramsey has in abundance.

Field Marshal Parker has heroic hair though.
This is bad coaching and someone has to sit him down and show him where he’s going wrong. I remember Flamini was a headless chicken at one point but he managed to sort his game out. I don’t think it’s beyond Ramsey to get better he just needs some guidance. I know Wenger doesn’t like to tell players what to do and bark instructions but someone has to tell the kid where he’s going wrong and show him how to play.
I agree that someone needs to have a word with him but not about what he's doing wrong on the pitch - more about telling him to calm the fuck down and stop panicking. Nobody should have to tell him to stop dwelling on the ball until he's tackled, or to stop trying stupid little flicks when you've got the ball in a good position. He surely knows that. But at the moment, his confidence is low and he freezes up into making those mistakes at a higher and higher rate.
A half-season on loan wouldn't be a bad idea from August.
Thinking more about it - that's definitely what we should do. Send him on loan. But not to Southampton or Bolton or some shit like that. Send him to Real Ibiza. He needs to play for a team (and a style) similar to a tippy-tappy with the handbrake on with little bit left in the tank. And he can do that in Spain.
I don't know why we didn't do that with Walcott. We should do that with all our British youngsters. Send him on a 6 month boot camp where they'll get ridiculed by the technically superior Spanish. Chuck them into the deep-end. Tell them to sink or swim. Tell Theo to pass his way out of the country.
The whole point of sending players on loan here is that they get used to the English league. But we know Ramsey's a pub teamer. He was set to become a rugby player before he settled for a wrong career choice. Let him make his mistakes in Spain avec grease.
